Speaking to reporters after the full dress rehearsal of the Jamboo Savari that is confined to the palace in view of the pandemic situation, he said the Jamboo Savari will be flagged off around 5 p.m. “This year, we have permitted eight cultural troupes and 6 tableaux to be part of the procession. There were less participants last year.”
